How To Put Download Files On WordPress Delivery Pages

In this video we’re going to look at how you can link your digital file which is stored online and one of your chosen services we’re going to show you how to link that to your opt-in form or even your Thank You page so the user can click to download that form now or download your PDF so I’ve got two pages here I’ve got my landing page up and I’ve got my thank you page now you can there’s also different ways you might want to create your thank you page you might not want to have you know the download button you might want to have a confirmation page after someone opt-in tell them to confirm their email you know you might not want to have the download button here you might have a text link you might want to send them an email with a link to download and there’s not actually you know a page with the link or the download link on it for this example I’ve create a page and I’m going to be linking to my page and it doesn’t really matter long as you know where the file is stored and you’ve got the link to the download or the PDF whatever you choose after that is fine long as you’ve got the correct link so what I’ve done I’m going to show the process i’m using here so if i go to this is my thank-you page i want to copy this URL at the top here i’m going to copy this going to use this inside my land and my landing page opt-in forms i’m going back here and open up my live editor and i’m the link up the opt-in form that i’ve created and this here is the overlay optimizer if i click on that and here’s my opt-in form and open that up now my opt-in form is connected to active campaign here and it’s on my list called downloads and inside the opt-in form we have here a field called Thank You page URL so inside here I’m going to put in my link to my thank you page so what happens is after someone subscribes through the opt-in form they’re going to be sent to this thank you page here so I’ll click insert and I click update then click save and close so now I know this opt-in form when someone opts in here they’re going to be sent straight over to my thank-you page which is here now in my thank-you page I want to link up the button so they’ll be taken to the PDF but to make it so they can go and download it inside from this page if I open up the live editor and I’m going to simply go down to the button here open up the button scroll down and here we have this option for the links I’m going to open up my notepad that I’ve been saving my links on and from here you could choose whatever one you’ve created any of the ones that you already created if you create a wordpress or you put it in google drive dropbox or s3 this is where you want to put that link to link up the button so for my example I’ll choose this first one I’ve done here with WordPress I’ll just copy that and I’ll paste it here okay so its paste it inside here and I’m also going to choose this option called open in a new window just so it opens up the PDF file in a new window in case someone’s come back to hear you know and wanted to share this page as well so this is that thank you page and I’ve linked up the button and what will happen now if I click save and close and refresh and click on this I’m going to open up a new window or it will open up a new window like so and inside there there’s the PDF and from here someone could download it by clicking the arrow on the right you know this I’ve got every night installed it’s offered me to save it to PDF or they’ll be prompted it could save that file so they’ve got that file available to download so you can see there what happens is they opt in here they get taken to this page and from here click on the button and there they’ve gone inside my folder the file path is inside my wordpress site there’s the URL that we took and here’s the file again this is inside Chrome other browsers might prompt them to download this file first so they can save it and store it somewhere on the local computer now let’s say we want to use a different service I will just test another one if I just open up the button here and i’ll change the link down the bottom we’ll just try let’s just pick this one here for google drive again i just replace that link save and close refresh the page and if i click on this now same things going to happen it’s going to open up a new window and i’m already logged into my account but if someone wasn’t logged into their account they would end up seeing the same page i’m seeing here and with this download our of this they can download it but there’s the file so that’s the file stored online and the same thing would work all the other services that we use with the dropbox and ours and s3
